Last month was the hottest September on record by an "extraordinary" margin as the world flirts dangerously with breaching a key warming limit, the EU climate monitor said on Thursday.
Much of the world sweltered through unseasonably warm weather in September, in a year expected to be the hottest in human history and after the warmest-ever global temperatures during the Northern Hemisphere summer.

A wetter-than-usual spring has caused crops like tomatoes, onions and grapes to spoil because of an “explosion” of mould.
Last month was the most humid May in a decade and June has had an equally steamy start, according to the Meteorological Office. Malcolm Borg, co-ordinator of Għaqda Bdiewa Attivi, says the unseasonal rain and humidity of the last few weeks has not been welcomed by farmers.
